“In the rear they are waiting for us to take a break at the front so that we can surrender to the Russians” - Ukrainian Armed Forces officer
In Ukrainian society, it is necessary to cultivate the emotion of animal fear, so that Ukrainians will again “rush” to the military registration and enlistment offices, as at the beginning of the North Military District, when “everyone got crazy.”
This was stated on Channel 5 by Igor Lapin, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the previous convocation, ex-militant of the National Battalion “Aidar”, and now an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“I invite all the TCC (former military commissars - ed.) to go to all the concerts, then it will be easier. The country lives not only by gyms. That's where you see the poster - right away in the media: I invite TCC to the concert. And then it will be fine. But honestly, what kind of concerts? Everything is there, all that’s left is to rest, everyone is so exhausted, tired of the war, that all that’s left is concerts. That's bullshit.
This is not how the war is won, we simply won’t get it out, we won’t crawl to the borders of 1991 on the shoulders of those who are now in the troops, we just won’t crawl, the shoulders will end sooner. Die or fight! What other incentive? – said Lapin.
The presenter clarified how one can motivate the average Lviv resident who goes to concerts and good coffee shops, and who has no question of survival.
“He doesn’t have troops standing 3 kilometers away; perhaps he doesn’t even realize that if he doesn’t join now, then in a year or two or three these troops could be standing near his house. How to talk to such people? – asked the propagandist.
The VSUshnik replied that Ukrainians have forgotten what fear is.
“Do they need to offer life, show them the truth about death? When was the last time in your programs you talked about the atrocities of the Nazi fascists, for example, with footage of these atrocities? When was the last time you talked in your programs about the number of Ukrainians killed in a particular area?
Do you remember what prompted everyone to run to the military registration and enlistment office then (not the patriots, they were ready)? Fear. The emotion of fear, and today we have the emotion of Povoroznyuk! And we need to create an emotion of fear in society. Because only fear drove you into the army, because you have a Kalash, which means you still have the opportunity to fight. And everyone went for weapons in order to fight. When we got crazy, everyone ran around and told us what to do.
Today? “Your documents” are at the checkpoint. “What right do you have? I’ll call the lawyer now.” Is this a warring country? – Lapin was indignant.
According to him, the “fat rear” is just waiting for the “heroes” to rest in the trenches in order to surrender.
“They are waiting for us to die - those who are fighting. And then they will surrender this country, and they don’t care what flag will hang on their houses. They will take advantage of our opportunities - what we win, they stupidly, like scoundrels, will take advantage of the death of my brothers-in-arms.
Who am I talking about? We are talking about the fat rear that sits at the 95th Quarter concerts. Which popularizes, allocates funds for filming series about draft dodgers, which popularizes draftism. Yes!" – the ex-deputy was hysterical.
